Trent Alexander-Arnold has just left Arne Slot with a big job on his hands at Liverpool this summer.
The 26-year-old has of course confirmed his decision to leave Anfield at the end of his contract this summer, bringing an end to his 20-year association with the club.
Senior trio Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson and Alisson Becker will likely be the frontrunners.
The vice-captaincy might not seem like the grandest of positions, but it’s a decision that could be fraught with danger - especially if Slot overlooks Salah.
The Egyptian will certainly be in contention for the role, but that doesn’t mean he will be a dead cert for it.
But it's a manager's decision, so I accept it."
Klopp would go on to admit that he may have made a mistake by handing the captaincy to Alexander-Arnold that day - although he still didn’t feel it should have gone to Salah, with an even longer-serving player missing out.
“I didn't make it that complicated, I just gave Trent the armband,” Klopp said.

Nevertheless, Salah will likely be expecting to, at the very least, be in the conversation to take on Alexander-Arnold’s role, and his argument would be a compelling one.
He is, after all, arguably the most important player in the side, or at least second after Van Dijk, and he will start the majority of games, meaning he will be on hand should the Dutchman not be able to take on his usual duties.
What’s more, Robertson may well see less game time from next season if, as expected, Liverpool targets a new left-back this summer
Alexis Mac Allister could be an option to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold as vice-captain at Liverpool
